    I am attempting a disk to disk clone from one disk to another of the same size.

    I notice that my LVM partitions are being copied block by block as a raw file system, rather than as individual partitions.

    Is there a way to force it to open up the LVM pv and copy each logical volume so that it minimizes blocks copied ?

    Thanks

    I am having the same issue. I thought clonezilla supported LVM2?

    When doing disk to disk clonning, there is a warning telling you that:
    "Local LVM clone is not well supported, since in the same system, no two same PV UUID can co-exist. Use dd to do sector-to-sector copy. On the other hand, a workaround is available. You can use network clone using two separate machines in clonezilla to avoid this problem."

    That's why.

    Steven.
